Abstract

A pill crusher device for crushing one or more pills is described. The device includes a male grinder component and a female grinder component that, together, form an enclosed chamber. The male grinder component is rotatable relative to the female grinder component, thereby enabling sets of serrated edges to move relative to each other and crush the one or more pills into a powder. A spring, valve, and adapter system enables the selective injection of liquid, the filtered passing of air, and the ability to repeatedly inject and suction out a liquid/powder mixture.
